Best to support your local community's efforts to attain those goals. 

@Taylor Lyons 80% LTV is attainable for primary residences that are not 2-4 unit if going the conventional loan route.

@Derrick Cameron JenkinsYes, the market is cooling and your mortgage payment is going higher.I see the benefit for investors that you can attain a retail ready short term rental without paying over ask and waiving appraisal contingency and inspection periods.I would dig into your STR market and see what drives it.

I'm taking classes to attain my real estate sales agent license, so that I can have more control in my real estate investing goals (e.g. like having access to the MLS).

Throughout my career, I've been able to attain a decent range of experience in the industry including: being an active agent (2 years), capitalizing on short term rentals (1.5), wholesaling (4), to now assisting on and executing full developments (2). 

Hey everyone,I understand how "Subject To..." financing works....or at least the gist of it.  My question is, say I find a house that appraises currently at $200k, but I sign a subject to contract for the remaining $1...

However, being it is limited to 3 unrelated occupants, then I don't think my goal of cash flowing a minimum of $1000 per unit is easily attainable.

@Levi Bennett I agree its attainable for short term rentals if you want to go that route

I 100% agree with you and your friends that real estate is the most attainable way to achieve financial independence and generational wealth and I commend you for your passion.I'm an agent and investor also located in Los Angeles County.

For potential land deals, how would you attain the addresses for vacant unlisted land when driving for dollars?
